Museum with Biuiam: Hong Kong Maritime Museum (Sharks and Humanity)/ 與Biuiam 行博物館 (鯊魚與人類)

I enjoy knowing new things, and so going to museum is something that I enjoy doing, I have been to numerous museums ever since I was a child, but only in recent years, I have documented some of my visits. So I am trying to start a new series related to museum. I like seeing things that interests me and museum is definitely a place that amazes me each time. In my museum post, I probably won’t be feeding much of the information on the exhibition things, but probably more on my feelings about them. After all, those museum are always accessible by everyone and many of those info are available on the internet~
我喜歡認識新事物，所以我喜歡去博物館，自小時候，我到過無數博物館，但只有近幾年，才記錄下我到過的地方。 所以我試圖開始一個有關博物館的新系列。 我喜歡看到有趣的東西，博物館絕對是一個令我驚訝的地方。 在我的博物館文章中，我不會提供大量的在展覽的內容，相反應該説多一點關於我的感受。 畢竟，這些博物館總是大家可以到訪，許多這些信息也可以在互聯網上看到〜

Confession:
Honestly, time is limited for each visit, and there will be lots of things that I miss, and I might not be able to look and understand everything. And of course it would be better if I get to sit on a electric wheel chair to tour the museum, the walking part is so tiring, especially in big museum.
自白：
老實說，每次訪問的時間都是有限的，會有很多我忽略的事情，我無法看清和理解所有展品。
其實如果我可以坐在電動輪椅上去遊覽博物館那有多好，走路的部分永遠是如此的累，特別是在大博物館裡。

Recently, I went to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum as it was doing a special exhibition on Sharks and Humanity. It is more of an art exhibitions aiming to raise the public awareness of shark conservation.
最近我去了香港海事博物館，那裡正在展示一個關於鯊魚和人類的特別展覽。 目的是提高公眾對鯊魚保育意識的藝術展覽。

It is always a controversy topic when we are talking about shark fins soup. No doubt the spearhead will point to Chinese cuisine, as Chinese are the major consumption of shark fin related product. Hong Kong on the other hand plays a major roles in the global shark fin trades.
當我們談論鯊魚翅湯時，那總是一個具爭議性的話題。 毫無疑問，矛頭將指向中國菜，因為中國人是鯊魚鰭相關產品的主要消費羣。而另一方面，香港在全球鯊魚鰭行業當着幫兇。

The use of ceramics in this art pieces brilliantly connect the consumption of sharks to Chinese, and the brittleness of ceramics also reflected how fragile the life of the sharks can be when faced with a large demand.
在這件藝術品中使用陶瓷，將鯊魚的消費與中國人的消費相結合，陶瓷的脆弱性也反映了面對大量需求時鯊魚生命的脆弱程度。

Sharks are being over-fished for their fins, by nets and hooks
鯊魚正在被過度捕撈，被魚網和魚鉤，為的只是他們的鰭

Another art with strong sense of Chinese style, this art also shows different historical events as well as different that human perform with the ocean, trying to remind us, the acts that we are doing might be jeopardising us and the nature at the same time.
另一種強烈的中國風格的藝術，這種藝術也顯示出不同的歷史事件，以及人類與海洋的不同表現，試圖提醒我們，我們所做的行為可能同時危及我們和自然。

Shark fins were the only parts that the fisherman are after for the shark, and it is this part of the fish that sealed the part of the sharks fate as a prey. It also reflect that how it prison the fisherman to commit such acts due to the profit behind.
鯊魚鰭是漁民追捕鯊魚的唯一原因，這一部分使鯊魚成為獵物。 這也反映了漁民如何被利益所監禁而進行這種行為。

A top predator without its fin is just a death sentenced animal, waiting to be fall prey to others or drown by itself.
沒有魚鰭的頂級捕食者只是一個被判死刑的動物，等待被別人獵食或被淹死。

Shark finning activities refers to cutting of the sharks fins, while "releasing" the shark back into the ocean. This is frequently performed by fishermen because of the most profitable part of the shark is its fins, and by leaving behind the body core, the fishermen can retain more storage etc. But for the sharks, with the missing of the fins, the sharks will not be able to swim properly. Sharks are fish without the swim bladders, their swimming and maintaining of proper position relies heavily on their fins. Without their pectoral fins, sharks will cannot generate enough up-lift and will sink to the bottom of the sea. Also many sharks require constant swimming so to maintain the oxygenated water passing their gills, by removing a shark's fins and putting it back to the waters is no different from suffocating it to death.

切鯊魚鰭活動指的是切割鯊魚鰭，同時將鯊魚“釋放”回海洋。 這是漁民經常執行的方法，因為鯊魚是最有利可圖的部分是它的魚鰭，這樣漁民可以保留更多空間儲存其他收獲。但對於鯊魚，隨著失去魚鰭，鯊魚將不能正常游泳。 鯊魚是沒有浮鰾的魚，他們的游泳和保持位置在很大程度上依賴於鰭。 如果沒有胸鰭，鯊魚就不會產生足夠的上升力，並且會沉入海底。 還有許多鯊魚需要不斷的游泳，以便保持帶有氧氣的水通過鰓部呼吸，通過去除鯊魚魚鰭並將其放回水中，與直接把它窒息死沒有什麼不同。

This art is a great white shark made with all the preys that it feeds on naturally, being the top predator in the sea, yet it never see human as part of its diet. The two children playing at its tail, was intended to remind us that, humans are not food for sharks, and sharks are not human's enemy.
這藝術是一條大白鯊，身體上的都是所有自然界的獵物，作為海洋中的頂級捕食者，它並沒有將人類視為飲食的一部分。 兩個孩子在尾巴玩耍，是為了提醒我們，人類不是鯊魚的食物，鯊魚也不是人類的敵人。

Sharks are one of the ancient animals that evolved and survived over 500 millions years ago, but they have faced no threats greater than us than any historical events. Our over fishing for their fins and pollution has been estimated to kill 73 millions of sharks annually.
鯊魚是五千萬年前進化和生存的古老動物之一，但沒有任何歷史事件都使他們面臨更大的威脅。 據估計，我們對鯊魚的過度捕撈和污染,每年可殺死7300萬條鯊魚。

Is this a fighting fish, or a shark with its fins cut and bleeding?
這是一條鬥魚，還是一條鯊魚，其魚鰭被切割在流血？

When the buying stops the killing can too

沒有買賣,就沒有殺害
